Our Mission
Property taxation is often a complex and unpopular position to be in.  As assessor, my mission is:

  • To be as fair and honest as possible in the work my office does.
  • To be available to speak to you about your concerns and the work we do.
  • To educate the taxpayer on how the Wyoming’s taxing system works.

It is important to me that we meet the public with pride in ourselves and the job we do for this county and its residents.

Role of the Assessor
The statutory duty of the Assessor’s Office is to locate, identify, and value all taxable property (real property, personal property used by business and oil and gas property).  This is mandated by Wyoming Statute 39-13-103 (b)(i) and Wyoming Statute 39-13-103 (b)(ii).

This office is also responsible for maintaining property ownership.  we work with the Jonson County Planner a our chief GIS (Geographic Information System) specialist to accurately determine and map all land parcels in the county.  Maintaining Veteran’s Exemptions (tax relief) is also one of our duties.  We are responsible for the current roll of qualified veterans in Johnson County.

The Assessor does not establish the amount tax you will be billed.  We only establish the appraised market value based on the current Wyoming statutes.
